Jameson Beaman
Jameson Beaman
Beaman is a force when attacking downhill. He has a soft touch in and around the paint and is comfortable going either direction. He does really well absorbing and finishing through contact. Beaman has great handles and mobility at his size. Combine that with his rebounding efforts and he becomes a real threat as he can grab-n-go off the defensive glass. Beaman can score from the inside and out and does so confidently.
Erik Bouchard
Erik Bouchard
Bouchard is a crafty playmaker and scorer who uses quick feet and a high IQ to dice up the defense. He’s able to maneuver through the defense easily given how tight of a handle he keeps. Bouchard is skilled at getting inside and once there, he does a great job of hitting the open man. He can score on his own too; he has a number of elusive moves to get inside and keep the defense moving as he finishes around them with great touch.
Timothy Carter
Timothy Carter
Carter brings great energy to his team and impacts the game both offensively and defensively. He has great defensive awareness as he is constantly searching for steals and offering superb help D. Carter runs the floor well and can score from a variety of spots. He’s a good passer and keeps his head up when handling the ball. Carter also loves to push the pace and is tough to stop downhill.
Johnale Johnson
Johnale Johnson
Something that stands out in Johnson’s game is his athleticism. He plays 4 inches above his height and this helps him as a rebounder and scorer. He has a knack for getting in the lane where his conversion rate is high. His floater game is great and he can finish through contact well considering how long he can hang in the air. Johnson has good mechanics on his jumper and shoots it above his head making the defense seem practically invisible.
Nick Jacob
Nick Jacob
I love the tempo that Jacob plays with. He is a three-level scorer and has a variety of moves to create his own shot. He is rarely sped up and plays with great poise. Jacob gets a lot of steals and loves turning defense into offense. As a lead guard, he has great awareness and trust in his teammates as he will always make the right play. Jacob also plays with really good energy.
Jackson Steain
Jackson Steain
Steain knows how to use his body to his advantage. He displays great strength which helps him finish through contact and provide solid wall-ups defensively. He has good patience down low and grabs a ton of rebounds. He seems to be in the right place at the right time which is beneficial in a number of ways. Steain can finish well with both hands and provides a looming interior defensive presence.
